Seizing The Opportunity: Opportunity Zones 101
Opportunity Zones are designed to spur economic development in low-income communities nationwide by providing tax benefits to investors.

This panel will help potential investors understand how the program works, identify neighborhoods that qualify and locate assets within the designated areas in need of investment.
